When asked why he made the film, he said he did it for "money." Dreyfuss also said, "I think it's 6/8ths of a great film."
Asked how it was to work with Oliver Stone, he said "imagine working for Sean Hannity... you can be a fascist, even when you're on the left."
He also said he isn't sure the film "will have any historical legs."

While this might come as a shock to some, it is not uncommon for actors to not completely enjoy a particular movie that they have been in. I'm reminded of Mel Gibson's comments about Wim Wender's film "Million Dollar Hotel", calling it "as boring as a dogs ass".
Let's not forget that this is the same guy that complained about Jaws.
Also, Oliver Stone doesn't have a reputation of being a director that everyone enjoys working with. Many directors aren't people that you can just "pal-around" with.
In the end, Dreyfuss looked at this as a job, nothing more. But, one would at least expect at least a modest amount of courtesy from a great actor.
